Mind Distractions

A distracted mind can’t quiet itself regardless of the belief system in place. Beliefs actually reinforce the distractions because they block out the awareness of inner presence…

If your distracted mind is in control and running your life, it doesn’t matter much what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to be aware they’re there. It’s such a distracted world because most people look for answers outside themselves when the answers are within. What the distractions actually are and how they’re created is by not being aware that you already have your answers. With a mind that’s conditioned to want answers you have to constantly look for them, hence the mind distractions. This is how Conditioned Mind distractions are formed and how they block awareness of your inner presence. It’s distractions created because if you knew you had your answers, the need to look for them would be non existent and so would the mind distractions.

The ability to understand the mind distractions lies in being aware they’re there, but it’s not something that’s going to happen on its owns. It’s a beautiful thing that your awareness is in your hands and that it’s totally up to each individual how much awareness there is in your life. A little quiet equates to a little awareness so it’s up to each individual to do what’s necessary to become more aware of the mind distractions. As you become more aware of being in the present moment the mind distractions lessen and what remains is inner presence. If you’re waiting for anything else, you’ll be waiting a very long time because it won’t happen while your mind distractions are in control…

Follower Mentality

There’s so much follower mentality energy in our society that it’s almost impossible to break its hold. The reason for this is because the thing being followed is attached to by the follower mentality of “I”

The follower mentality will drag you along unconsciously unless there’s some awareness that it’s happening. To me the only thing that allows this awareness are your thoughts slowing down enough to where there’s a millisecond of space between them; in this space the pull of a follower mentality lessens. The only thing I’ve found that allows this space is being present. It’s very important to understand this because people sit for hours with other intentions and the moment they’re finished, the follower mentality returns. Understanding this is beneficial because it allows for a clear vision which keeps the mind open to lead. If everything stays in the head as follower intellect, it will be difficult to break free from the energy of this. The more attachment there is to what’s being followed, the harder it is to pull away.

One example of this is in the Bible, the masses grew and grew as the Pharisees publicly tried Jesus. As more people were pulled into the follower mentality to crucify, the energy intensified. If you research some of the conquerors of the past, you will see exactly how the follower mentality works. As their reigns widened and their tyranny expanded, the follower mentality deepened. There’s so much of this energy in our society right now, and it’s reinforced daily. It’s so hard to break free because of the attached follower mentality of “I” that keeps it in place. This even includes many trying to help others if the followers mentality is focused on “I” instead of the intuitive love of the heart. Until “I” is addressed, few people will ever truly break free from the follower mentality energy because the attached mentality won’t allow space between your thoughts as the energy of “I” remains in control…

Consciousness Energy

Consciousness energy is naturally free flowing because there’s no resistance. Unconscious energy stops the flow because it’s based in trying to manipulate what is…

Being aware of consciousness energy at the precise moment it happens, minimizes the unconscious stories that are needed to make life the way you think it should be. Consciousness stops the made up stories of the way you think something should be and allows the consciousness of the way it is; this becomes the beautiful view of the way it should be. After all, wanting the present moment different is where all unconscious discontentment arises from. When you’re simply aware of consciousness as it arises there isn’t a need for a story and selfish energy doesn’t come into play as the love of your heart naturally becomes the beautiful operating energy of life.

Unconscious energy becomes a created prison because it doesn’t allow for the natural flow of consciousness energy; you become entombed in the energy of unconsciousness. It’s the Conditioned Mind that cuts off the energy flow of consciousness as it becomes the energy of the lower nature of self centered nonsense. Why unconscious energy causes issue is because it bombards you with an unnatural energy flow and doesn’t allow harmony. Consciousness naturally free flows because there’s no resistance, there’s no trying to make life different than what it is. Unconscious energy stops the flow because it’s based in trying to manipulate the moment so what’s there is resisted to the point where its natural flow of energy is cut off. The only thing needed for liberation is awareness aware of awareness, there’s no unconscious energy here, there’s just the energy of what is…

Unconscious Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are unconscious as they’re put in place by your own conditioning. So if your life isn’t experienced to its fullest potential, it’s your own unconscious reactions that block it from being so…

Although things may appear to be a certain way, it’s not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when unconscious conditioning is brought into play. So much of what the mind holds in storage is used for particular times, this blocks life from truly being experienced. We already have in place the way things are going to be handled, unconscious reactions are formed in this way.

Advertising is a billion dollar industry because of this. Media uses certain words they know are going to sway people in a predictable way. Stores know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on putting things in a certain place so your unconscious reactions make them more attractive.

This goes on and on because the unconscious Conditioned Mind determines it. If you had no previous conditioning none of the above methods would work, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not reacting unconsciously is to develop some way to be in the present moment. The more you’re in the present moment the more life is experienced. When this occurs there’s a peace that passes all understanding because there’s awareness of your unconscious reactions, and you no longer see them as beneficial…

Blindly Conditioned

When you’re blindly under the control of a Conditioned Mind you behave in ways not because it’s the way you want to be, it’s because it’s the way it has to be…

It was a lack of understanding of my blindness that caused me to remain unaware of the control my mind had over me. I wasn’t aware of how my mind was blindly conditioned to self serve. The problem with this blind conditioning is it causes your own demise because destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at its mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the blind conditioning is reinforced daily by many; there are those who are fortunate to wake up and see this at a young age.

The way I was blindly conditioned wasn’t the fault of anything in particular. It happened indirectly by the loveless distractions influencing my life which molded me to behave in the ways my blindness dictated. This was not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding blindness this is the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been blindly conditioned. Change the blindness and change your entire existence, or not and remain blind. The value of not being blind is in the understanding there’s nowhere else to turn but inward; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when blind conditioning is understood, it’s no longer in control. I also learned its control slowly dissipates as discipline is developed; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because the distractions that keep you blindly conditioned are revealed. With this understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’re able to develop the discipline necessary so the blind conditioning eventually falls away…

Pleasure Seeking

The seeking of pleasure is so deep and misunderstood that it actually leads many down the road of self-destruction. Until the mind settles and this is seen, pleasure seeking will continue its control…

There’s nothing inherently wrong with pleasure, but when the driving force is to satisfy your pleasures, it will most likely lead to some kind of destructive reaching. Understanding the destructive reaching to quench the thirst of pleasure is where the difference lies in one being at peace or constantly needing to reach for the next pleasure. For me there was always a thirst for peace, but it was seen as seeking pleasure was the way to peace. What I used to quench this thirst is where the my destructiveness arose. My tools to quiet this thirst to be at peace became different some years ago. Prior to that time everything I used was based in the material realm. Today this isn’t the case because I understand the pleasure seeking enough to see its delusion.

As the story is told, Jesus went into the desert to meditate for forty days with nothing but the clothes on his back. This was done to confront his inner demons by meditating. It took the Buddha six years to become enlightened as he roamed the country side meditating along the way. He went from house to house for his food. These are two people who left us with great examples of how to manifest a peaceful state of being without anything from the material world. This is key if you are to ever be free from the bondage of the pleasure seeking mind and open the doorway to true peace that’s not dependent on anything from this world. When this is truly understood, pleasure will no longer be reached for in a destructive way as you will actually live life in the most beneficial way possible…

Conditioned Hurts

Because the past is held onto as if it’s needed, it creates an identify formed mostly of hurts from the past. These hurts show where you have been, but they don’t have to dictate where you are going…

Hurts only show where you have been, they don’t show where you’re going. Everyone has a past and there’s plenty of things that have happened that leaves hurt energy patterns, but when you awaken for a millisecond, it’s a breakthrough of a lifetime; in that millisecond your entire existence becomes different. This is why it’s so important to understand the conditioning that’s taken place over the years because without this understanding it will be impossible to change the conditioning that’s creating hurts. The only way life will ever change is when the conditioning that makes hurts changes.

The most misunderstood thing about the process of life is how the hurts of the past dictate the future. It doesn’t have to be this way, but until you stop listening to your Conditioned Mind this won’t change. This doesn’t mean the hurts are to be ignored, on the contrary they need to be faced so they can be identified for what they truly are; energy patterns from the past that are being held onto. They only exist and they’re only in control because of this. The Conditioned Mind is so subtle that it prevents you from seeing there’s only a past hurt because your mind attaches to it…

Divine Light Within

A person doesn’t wake up because something from the outside is shaken, it occurs because the divine light within awakens; everyone has this light within…

When a person has an awakening, they wake up from their divine light being turned off and unaware of what truth is. When this first occurs what has happened isn’t truly realized. For me, I knew something happened because my view of life changed, but I didn’t know what it meant. I did know for the first time in my life I was going to be okay. I didn’t wake up because something from the outside shook me, I woke up because I discovered the divine light within that I already possessed. I didn’t know the value of this at first, as a matter of fact I didn’t know I had this divine light in my heart. Even when some do become slightly aware of this, it could very easily be mistaken for an ordinary event. As I look back throughout my life, I had an inkling this divine lght existed, but it was dismissed as just being nonsense. Because of this I kept looking for what was already in me.

Nothing is given to us from the outside that the inside doesn’t already have in its possession, but because of the conditioning in place, there’s no awareness of this. Obviously we’re not talking about material possessions, I’m strictly talking about the divine light of love that we all possess. This is worth more than all the possessions of the world, and it’s also the thing most readily available to everyone. It’s just that the conditioning in place keeps one looking for their light out there somewhere when all along you already have what you’re looking for…

Creation Energy

Creation energy is enough because in this energy we are one, and since creation energy is love we are love. Nothing needs to be added to be enough because you are already all that you can be…

A benefit that you’ll acquire by inner-standing what the practice of quieting the monkey mind does is instead of striving to become, you’ll be guided by the energy of creation and be in harmony with life. You’ll realize you’re complete just as you are and nothing added will make you more complete. This is priceless because when this is experienced there’s an inner-standing of the difference between being and doing, and you’ll stop doing for the sole purpose to be. Right now, even though it may not be known, you’re already all that you can be.

At the base of this inner-standing is the energy of creation because that is who you truly are. Nothing more can be added that would make you something different. Even if you found the cure for cancer, it wouldn’t be enough unless it was derived from love. It wouldn’t be the cure that would be enough, it would be the love behind finding the cure. Love is enough, only the self-serving mind needs something more in the form of an object, but it’s not really needed it’s only the ego that makes life into a belief something is needed. A belief isn’t real, it’s only a story made up by a self-serving mind that needs to become something. There aren’t any facts to a belief, but what is factual is love; a belief or a story isn’t.

Simple realize you are who you are, it’s who you have always been and who you will always be. This is not a belief or a story, this is a fact. You cannot be anything but who you are. If you want to believe you’re a story, that’s who you will make yourself out to be, but it’s not who you are it’s only your story. When this is inner-stood there is peace because you stop striving to become something. This is when the striving to become ceases and love is enough, it’s because you realize love is who you are. Creation energy is enough because in this energy we are one, and since creation energy is love we are love. Nothing needs to be added to be enough because you are already all that you can become…

Changed Mind Patterns

If there’s ever going to be change in our world, the mind patterns in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the individual mind patterns aren’t providing beneficial results…

A mind develops patterns to do certain things and it will do just that whether you want it to or not; it has to do what patterns it has developed. Our mind becomes patterned the same way an operating system works and unless it’s changed or at least upgraded to some degree, the mind patterns will remain. It’s imperative to understand this so first the mind patterns in place can be identified and second so the patterns that may not be serving you in the most beneficial way can be changed. Mind patterns controlled my life for many years and most were of a self-serving nature. After a long period of time (forty nine years to be exact), I realized these patterns weren’t really benefitting me or anyone else for that matter. This realization is the beginning stages for the possibility of the mind patterns to change. This will take some effort because of how ingrained they are, but the effort is more of about awareness than an actual exertion.

Once one becomes aware there may be another way to live, the process of changing the mind patterns in place has begun. This is difficult because the patterns want to hold onto the familiar even if they’re not providing much of a benefit. It’s how the dog chasing its tail syndrome remains in place; even at the point of its own destruction. Mind patterns have many tools and influences to do this, some inner, some outer. This is why when a person acts in a particular way, they‘re more accountable than responsible for what they do. If anything is ever going to change in our world, the mind patterns in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the mind
patterns although doing what they were designed to do, aren’t providing the most beneficial results…

A Past Reality

For many the past has way too much control over what is done today. Until this is identified, and the past is let go of, you will continue to be controlled by the past and your future will never truly be…

Understanding that living life today as opposed to living from what happened in the past is the difference in being at peace or being controlled by conditioning. When you’re living today, you’re with true reality not a made up reality. When there isn’t the reality of today, there’s the delusional state of the past which makes for very little if any peace in your life.

The reality of what’s occurring today means if you’re reading this post, that’s reality. There’s nothing else going on beyond what’s happening right now. There may be something going on between your ears, but that’s the created delusional state of the past (what isn’t). The bottom line is the past is not the reality of the present moment.

The mind has been conditioned to think it has to use the past to create a life that’s better than the one that’s occurring right now; this is what keeps you from truly living life. I’m not sure why this is, but I do know it has to do with influences beyond one’s control. To me what matters is to develop discipline by sitting which allows you to break free of the control of these influences. Control is control so the more you’re controlled by the past, the less reality there will be. Unless you live with the reality of today and learn how to identify past influences, it will be impossible to ever be free because you’ll remain under the spell of what happened in the past…

Self Emotions Concept

Emotions can’t control you if the concept of self isn’t created. This concept of self is the operating system behind your emotions. When this self isn’t attaching to the outside circumstances of life, there is peace…

Emotions are something that most people don’t give much thought to. The self appointed experts with their degrees will say they’re needed and people go along with this without investigating if it’s true. I say the hell with the experts and their degrees because if I followed the nonsense that is spewed from the arrogance of their degrees, I would be dead. For me the turning point in learning about emotions was in being aware of how they all arise from the base of “I”. What was revealed to me is that there’s a conceptual self that gets tied into emotions in many ways. The concept of this sense of self is the operating system behind all emotions. These emotions are tied into how you see yourself. For instance the emotion of guilt arises when you do something you were taught was bad or wrong. Emotional anger arises when this self is hurt in some way. Fear emotions arise when your self is threatened or scared. The emotion of sadness arises when there’s disappointment. All these emotions arise because of very different circumstances, but this is as far as most people get when it comes to understanding them.

The way my emotions were investigated is not in how they were different, but what they all had in common. This was where my focus centered. What this led me to see was there’s one common source of every emotion and that source is the conceptual self; emotions can’t control you if a self isn’t created. Investigate this for yourself, don’t listen to anyone and their view, develop your own. I said earlier that my emotions would have killed me, this is because my reaction tendencies were to reach for things that were self destructive. It’s not this way today because I’ve learned somewhat (nobody’s perfect) not to attach to a self that give my emotions life. When there’s not this self reacting to the outside circumstances of life, there’s much more balance to remain at peace and not do something just because an emotion arises…

Mature Mind

Acceptance of the way things are goes a long way in providing yourself with a mind that allows the maturity of not needing to reach for comfort in whatever form it takes on…

Seeking self satisfaction is a sign of immaturity. It’s the I want, what I want, when I want it mind. Self-seeking is directly linked to your level of maturity. If you don’t think this is so, see how there’s no difference in what you use now to provide comfort as opposed to what was used as an infant. Only the object has changed, the same reaching is in effect. Stop and see the baby in place who doesn’t like what’s written here. So your feelings may be hurt, who cares if this article allows you to see the truth needed to act with a mature mind. And how you will know immaturity is in place is by how you have to reach for things. This reaching takes on many many forms. Unless the mind is very settled, immaturity and reaching which go hand and hand will remain.

Being of a mature mind will only occur when seeking self satisfying comfort ceases. Judging is immature as is jealousy. Greed, hate, and wanting life different (delusion) is immature. Relying and reaching for something outside yourself to provide comfort is immature. Anything that’s reached for is a sign of immaturity because it all falls under the delusion that comfort is needed. A mature mind is in place when nothing in life needs to be different or reached for. Acceptance of the way things are goes a long way in providing yourself and humanity with the stability and maturity of not needing to reach for comfort in whatever form it takes on…

The Inner Addict

Everyone is an addict to some degree, the consequences of what’s used are just more devastating for some. Selfishness is what makes the addict reach and it’s in everyone to some degree…

There’s only one person who you have to be honest with and that’s yourself. You may do something that no one sees you doing, but you’re not fooling anyone because you can’t hide what you’re doing from yourself. You don’t get away with anything that you do in life. You may be ignorant as to why it’s being done, but that doesn’t lessen the consequences. There are consequences for every action, but it’s not because God is watching and causes it, you yourself cause your consequences and they‘re determined by the base of what your actions are; either love or selfishness.

The reaching to fulfill your inner addict is repeated because the things used keeps the addict in place. Alcohol, tobacco, porn, gambling, drugs, food, sex, sports, money, and social status to name of few, are all used to fulfill the selfish inner addict and therefore they will need to be reached for over and over because it’s the nature of addiction. Why the thing being reached for used doesn’t matter is because whatever and whenever something is reached for to fulfill the addiction, it will not last. It can’t last because the nature of anything reached for is selfish, and selfish behavior is the producer of addiction. The inner addict is also the cause of so much suffering to ourselves and others. Until this is realized the addict will always be there and so will the need to reach for something to try and satisfy your inner addict…

Human Form Lack

When there’s a need to reach for something, it’s because of an inner lack from attaching to your human form. Until this is understood, you’ll remain attached as you seek to fill the inner lack of your human form…

You will never fill the inner lack of your human form because the human form is the creator of the inner lack. Completeness is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, you get attached to the human form which makes you reach outside yourself for completeness. Unfortunately this attachment to your human form makes the very lack you are trying to fill impossible to fill. This attachment to human form is the reason one is constantly reaching for something from the outside. Until this is seen you will remain attached to a human form that thinks completeness is in the next thing reached for.

It’s impossible to think your way to understanding this. Why you’re attached to a human form is because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises, the attachment to your human form begins. This attachment to human form is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break. Breaking free of and experiencing completeness isn’t something attained or achieved so it’s in doing less that completeness is experienced. To many people get lost trying to find completeness through the attachment to human
form. Since completeness is already within you trying to find it is like a dog chasing its tail. This is not easy to see, but it’s why I share so the attachment to human form can be seen for what it is; the cause of why you think you aren’t complete…
